Lohnsteuer kompakt FAQs

 


Field help: Pension start date
Pension start date

Enter the date from which your pension was approved. This is the official start date of the pension, even if the approval was granted retroactively. You can find the exact date in the pension notice or in the documents from the pension provider.

Special case: One-off payment

If you received only a one-off payment (e.g. pension arrears) in the year 2024, please enter the date of the actual payment receipt.

Where can I find the pension start date?

All tax-relevant amounts for pensions from Germany can be found in the "Information on the notification to the tax authorities" from the German Pension Insurance (DRV).

Relevant information on foreign pensions can be found in the documents from the pension provider, such as the approval notice or a pension statement.
